Historic 1882 Adobe Homestead

This original homestead—once spanning 160 acres—is thought to have originally belonged to the Silva family who had a historic ranch in the area. Built circa 1882, the adobe has stood the test of time, with a second story added in 1924 and a kitchen addition in 1929.

In the 1920s, the property was acquired by the Schiff family (who owned a furniture store in Silver City) before changing hands to the Salars family in the early 1970s. Today, it is proudly co-owned by the three Salars brothers who grew up exploring these very grounds, having most recently been lived in by their mother for the last 20 years.

The exterior features major modern updates including a relatively new metal roof, new stucco, and new windows. Inside, it is completely livable and ready to move into right now! Depending on your preferences, the interior may need some fresh paint, floor refinishing, and bathroom/kitchen updates to make it your own.

Market Context: While the average price of a 5-bedroom house on 6 acres in the Silver City area is currently running from $300,000 to $500,000, the unique historical category of this property makes a direct comparison difficult. This is a rare chance to own and steward a genuine piece of local heritage.
